Waiting on
Wednesday [WoW] is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking
the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly
anticipating.
This week’s WoW
feature is:
This
Side of Salvation by Jeri Smith-Ready
Expected
Publication: April 1, 2014Publisher: Simon Pulse
Summary via Goodreads...
Everyone mourns differently. When his older brother
was killed, David got angry. As in, fist-meets-someone-else’s-face furious. But
his parents? They got religious. David’s still figuring out his relationship
with a higher power, but there’s one thing he does know for sure: The closer he
gets to new-girl Bailey, the better, brighter, happier, more he feels.
Then his parents start cutting all their worldly
ties in to prepare for the Rush, the divine moment when the faithful will be
whisked off to Heaven…and they want David to do the same. David’s torn. There’s
a big difference between living in the moment and giving up his best friend,
varsity baseball, and Bailey—especially Bailey—in hope of salvation.
But when he comes home late from prom, and late for
the Rush, to find that his parents have vanished, David is in more trouble than
he ever could have imagined.
Why I Can’t Wait....
Just
seems like a fresh new kind of story to me. I feel like it will be an awesome
and intriguing read and will sure keep me interested the whole book though. The
only bad thing? I’ll have to wait until next year. Boo! Lol.
That’s
what I’m waiting for…please share yours.
Wow, this sounds great. I haven't seen it before but I really like the sound of it and I'm going to add it to my to-read list. Great pick and I hope you enjoy reading it. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI've seen this one on about 3 different WoWs lately and I can't believe that I actually just heard about this book today. Thanks for sharing!
